Re: Lindsay Lohan is (finally) sentenced to jail
I wonder if some people bemoan the death of the untouchable "celebrity". Someone who doesn't have to work much (or at all)
Celebrities are not untouchable, and DO have to work for their living. The celebrities who think they can get away with anything just because they're famous seems to get a harsh wake-up call. Lindsay Lohan got fired from a leading role in a movie due to her antics, and Paris Hilton got sued for failing to promote
Repo! The Genetic Opera as the studio saw fit. Montel Williams and Connie Chung both had extremely successful, long-running careers in television. One day, they decided it would be a good idea to express their controversial political opinions, and they were fired immediately.
Where you can eat two-triple cheeseburgers for dinner each day, or subsist on champagne, Tic Tacs and heroin, but still look even more attractive than you did yesterday.
You're acting like you've never seen the paparazzi beach, or without make-up shots of celebrities. Most of them are fat and ass-ugly if they stop working out, or they aren't touched up and in perfect lighting.
I know some people (many of them gay men) who couldn't picture a more ideal life.
Well, that's all a fantasy. My biggest pet peeve in the world is when people think any of that BS is "real", let alone when they feel inadequate because of it.
It's a bought-and-paid piece of make believe. PLEASE learn this, majority of people. . .for you own health.

So a harsher sentence than three years probation, is a month in jail?
Or is she going to be on probation after that?
Original sentence was 90 days in prison and probation after that, but new reports are saying that she prison she's going to will only be able to keep her in there for 23 days due to overcrowding. I imagine she'd serve the rest of her sentence on house arrest.
I hope this is a wake up call to her, but I doubt it.
I've spoken to, or heard of, way too many people who've been to jail or were on probation. Trust me: it does NOT make them stop if they're the type of person to do it in the first place. Some play up the perfect behavior for a few weeks or months after they get caught, but they fall right back into it again. . .especially if they're all around the same friends who were enabling them in the first place.
